Philippine Government Takes a Huge move Towards CryptoCurrency

Philippine has finally decided to make room for a set aside crypto economic zone. The scheme is aimed with the hopes of generating more tax income, employment for its people, and perhaps a dedicated crypto university.Raul Lambinos, who is the spokesperson of Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA), told Reuters:

“We are about to licence 10 platforms for cryptocurrency exchange. They are Japanese, Hong Kong, Malaysians, Koreans. They can go into cryptocurrency mining, initial coin offerings, or they can go into exchange.”

Exchanges providing onramps to the nation’s fiat money, on the other hand, are encouraged to launch offshore to avoid running afoul of Philippine law.Such zones offer advantageous tax regimes in the hope of creating more employment for Filipinos. Early this year, the country legalized such zones for crypto, which appears to be more welcoming to digital assets than other countries in the region.See Also: Romania’s Bitcoin exchange Shutdown; BTCxChangeLocal authorities estimate over two years crypto companies will invest more than $1 million, with ten percent of that going toward building a tax base. Ambitious plans also include a possible blockchain-based financial technology university to help feed workers to surrounding businesses in the zone.
